Tristella Advisors provides fractional CTO leadership, AI governance, and Salesforce Agentforce advisory for healthcare organizations and funded startups. The firm was founded on a simple observation: most companies bolt AI onto their stack without anyone senior enough in the room to ask who's accountable when it breaks a compliance requirement or embarrasses the board. Tristella exists to close that gap. The practice draws on 25+ years of fintech and insurtech engineering leadership, including recent work as VP of Engineering on a platform handling consumer PII at scale, audits, production incidents, and the kind of accountability that comes from owning outcomes, not just recommending them. Tristella works in three areas: - Fractional CTO leadership — senior technical judgment for startups and SMBs that need it without a full-time hire. - AI governance and implementation — getting AI into production safely, with particular depth in healthcare organizations that can't afford to get it wrong. - Salesforce Agentforce advisory — architecture and deployment for teams already on the platform who want AI that holds up under real usage, not a demo that dies in committee. Every engagement is led by a partner. There is no hand-off to a junior once the contract is signed, and no framework applied without firsthand experience behind it. hello@tristellaadvisors.com
